Baylor School

For the latest on all things about Baylor, just follow us on Facebook and Twitter! But here's an overview: Since 1893, Baylor has been one the south's premier college-preparatory schools. Our beautiful 690-acre campus is located on the Tennessee River and only five minutes from downtown Chattanooga. Students enjoy the benefits that come from small classes, a unique leadership program and innovative curriculum, an exceptional faculty, vast extracurricular choices, and nationally recognized athletic teams. Graduates are admitted to colleges and universities nationwide, including Ivy League schools (the most recent class was offered more than $14 million in scholarships).

Summary: The teaching faculty consist of 80 men and 52 women holding 79 advanced degrees, including 16 doctorates and 3 JDs. As part of Baylor's important advisery program, teachers also serve as advisers, regularly interacting closely with students in all aspects of their school life.

Summary: The beauty of Baylor's campus, outstanding facilities, an extensive extracurricular program, and a network of involved and caring dorm faculty create a vibrant boarding community. To keep the experience from being overwhelming, the Baylor support network is vast. Dorm parents work with students on a nightly basis to help them establish and refine study skills that will help them succeed in the classroom. Advisers work with students to set goals and to make thoughtful and appropriate choices. Dorm heads allow students the opportunities to make decisions, solve problems and to try their hand in leadership roles. Each student, faculty member, administrator, and boarding parent has a Baylor email address, providing easy access to instant connections. Across campus, Baylor boarding students are recognized for the depth of interest and sense of self-reliance. Throughout the year we host boarding Open House events for prospective families and each summer we offer boarding camps -- two great ways to see for yourself what it's like to live and learn at Baylor!

Student Life

Summary: When the academic day at Baylor ends, another type of discovery takes place. We believe the benefits of extracurricular activities and competitive athletics are fundamental to a person's total education. That's why we require all students to participate in either a sport or an afternoon activity (community service, organic gardening, drama, outdoor enrichment, etc.)each day.
In addition, we provide a huge number of clubs and organizations. From the Swing Dance Club to the Science Club, there are certainly ample opportunities to try it all. Students also have the opportunity to join their classmates in a variety of extracurricular opportunities and fun outings around campus and the Chattanooga area. For our boarding students, this is especially important. Baylor's Student Activities Director and the Student Activities Team, as well as the Walkabout office, plan off-campus excursions every weekend. Each outing is chaperoned by at least one faculty member, which provides yet another chance for students to build relationships with adults outside the classroom.

Summary: In addition to offering courses at each grade level in visual and performing arts, our calendar is packed each year with performances, concerts, exhibits, and special trips. We are also fortunate to welcome to campus throughout the year authors, choreographers, dancers, musicians, poets, and artists from all disciplines as visiting artists and guest lecturers.
Baylor's athletic program is legendary. We offer 17 sports and 72 teams in grades 6-12 and Sports Illustrated recognized our athletic program among the "top 25" in the U.S.
Baylor teams have won more than 145 state titles in the last 20 years.
We also offer a wide variety of boarding sports clinics in the summer.

Summary: Baylor's College Counseling Office is in the business of enabling students to see a perfect fit, and then assisting them in making that match with colleges throughout the application process.
We know each student has a different story to tell and that each will enter the college search process in his or her own way and in his or her own time. Whatever the case, three professional full-time college counselors are on hand to advise students on the college admission process.

Summary: Our 690-acre campus is the perfect location for summer camps. Boarding programs include Team Baylor, an all-sports camp for kids 8 - 13 years old, a Southeast Regional Youth Development camp in Crew, and specialized sports academies in Boys Lacrosse and SE Distance Running. Our summer camps are a perfct way to experience Baylor's amazing campus and awesome programs. All Baylor overnight camp participants and staff live in dorms, enjoy delicious and nutritiously balanced food, and have access to some of the best athletic facilities, coaches, and camp staff in the Southeast. (Easy online registration,too!)
